Haskell.org's Google Summer of Code 2007 Project

This wiki is for organizing our participation, keeping track of the projects, tasks, and publishing news.
Potential mentors and student applicants can (and should) suggest projects using the links below.
However, don't forget that, once you find something you are interested in, you will also need to
apply directly to Google.

To edit pages, if you don't already have a trac login, you will need to register one. (See buttons top right)

Students:

Want to earn $4500 for 3 months work hacking in Haskell? Go
to our ​ideas page, browse around, and write up a proposal for something
you would like to work on. You must be available to work basically
full-time for the months of June to August (inclusive). Proposals are
competitive against other students. Last year, nine were funded. Your
deadline for application is 26th March.

Anyone else:

Got any good ideas for coding projects, but no time to work
on them yourself? ​Add it into the database! Or do
you feel you could be either a primary or backup mentor for a student
project in an area of your interest, even if it isn't a project you
defined yourself? We need willing members of the community to foster
the new student talent, so sign up on the People page if you
would like to be involved. Obviously you will need Haskell coding
experience, but also be able to advise on time management, strategies
for gaining a userbase and keeping them happy, ways of interacting with
the wider Haskell community, and so on.

Tickets <= #86 were proposals from 2006. Many of those ideas are still good.

Students can often find it difficult to pitch a proposal just right for the time available. Mentors (or anybody else with experience) should add comments to proposals, like: off-topic, too easy, too hard, too vague. Please also give suggestions for improvement, helping to tighten-up and clarify what would be cool about the project.

We will probably try to have a backup mentor for every project in the final allocation, so feel free to put yourself down for a proposal, even if you might not be confident enough to be lead mentor.
